Review: When inside of an airport, I expect to pay too much for too little of something that isn’t too good. This is why my girlfriend and I decided to try the fanciest looking place in LaGuardia while we were there. One, two, three, knock out! Figs totally pulled the carpet out from underneath my expectations. If you ever find yourself inside of LaGuardia Airport with a few hours and about thirty dollars to kill, I urge you to make a bee-line for this unassuming food court feast factory!
For about two thirds of what I would pay in Chicago for a comparable dish, I received a substantial chunk of fish that was expertly seasoned, smoked, blackened and served atop a pan-continental salad of baby spinach greens and cold cous cous. From the moment I took the first bite of this meal, I didn’t want it to end. The fish was perfectly cooked, with a moist inner flesh and crispy outer carbon casing. Both the salmon and the salad were prepared with a mild vinaigrette which accented each individual element’s flavor and served to bring the entire entree together.
Never… I say, never did I think I would find something this delicious and this reasonably priced in an airport food court.
